Connecting up new system..

[1968]

I am most likely going to get someone to install this system for me but would like to buy everything ready to go..

System will be:

_____________________________________

Alpine CDA-105Ei head unit

Pioneer TS-W258D4 10" Sub

pioneer 800W monoblock amp

[sub/amp is wired already]

Massive Audio CK6 6.5 comps

Massive Audio VK6 6.5 comps

Crescendo 1000C4 1000W amp

CAR SPECS:

From what I can find on the net:

Alternator Voltage: 14.7+/- 0.3

Alternator full load current: 65A

65Ah battery.

Will this run off a normal car battery and stock alternator etc?.. will I need a capacitor or any additional accessories?.

If you are having power issues, do not get a cap. It's a waste of money and can hurt your system. There's plenty of threads on it, search if you're interested why.

Once you have everything setup, if your lights dim when the bass hits, get about 12ft of 1/0g wire and do the big three (theres a thread for that too).

Ok I plan on doing the big 3 but am more concerned about alternator/battery limitations.. is the light dimming test good enough?.. I dont plan on cranking my system (at least not for long periods) so I doubt I will be hitting max capacities..

When calculating power requirements- it will be ~1800W max is that correct?.
